The AADE7® Self-Care Behaviors framework utilizes the best practice of diabetes education by measuring, monitoring and managing outcomes.

The 7 behaviors are: healthy eating, being active, taking medication, monitoring, reducing risks, problem solving and healthy coping. These behaviors are widely recognized and used by healthcare professionals, professional organizations and governmental agencies.

Much has changed since the AADE7 were last updated in 2011. Tune in to this episode to learn about:

• Diabetes Care and Education Specialists have seen their role go far beyond self-management of blood glucose (SMBG)
• The role and use of technology has transformed the approach to diabetes self-care
• New tools for screening have been developed for social determinants of health, health literacy and numeracy
• New classes of medications and evolving algorithms have changed how we work with clients
• Models of care like population health have become integral for improved management on a larger scale
